u'<font size="12" color="#bfffffff">The Seventy Maxims of Maximally Effective Mercenaries: by Howard Tayler creator of Schlock Mercenary<br> 1. Pillage, then burn.<br> 2. A Sergeant in motion outranks a Lieutenant who doesn\'t know what\'s going on.<br> 3. An ordnance technician at a dead run outranks everybody.<br> 4. Close air support covereth a multitude of sins.<br> 5. Close air support and friendly fire should be easier to tell apart.<br> 6. If violence wasn\u2019t your last resort, you failed to resort to enough of it.<br> 7. If the food is good enough, the grunts will stop complaining about the incoming fire.<br> 8. Mockery and derision have their place. Usually, it\'s on the far side of the airlock.<br> 9. Never turn your back on an enemy.<br> 10. Sometimes the only way out is through. . . through the hull.<br> 11. Everything is air-droppable at least once.<br> 12. A soft answer turneth away wrath. Once wrath is looking the other way, shoot it in the head. [8] <br> 13. Do unto others.<br> 14. "Mad Science" means never stopping to ask "what\'s the worst thing that could happen?"<br> 15. Only you can prevent friendly fire.<br> 16. Your name is in the mouth of others: be sure it has teeth.<br> 17. The longer everything goes according to plan, the bigger the impending disaster.<br> 18. If the officers are leading from in front, watch out for an attack from the rear.<br> 19. The world is richer when you turn enemies into friends, but that\'s not the same as you being richer. <br> 20. If you\'re not willing to shell your own position, you\'re not willing to win.<br> 21. Give a man a fish, feed him for a day. Take his fish away and tell him he\'s lucky just to be alive, and he\'ll figure out how to catch another one for you to take tomorrow. <br> 22. If you can see the whites of their eyes, somebody\'s done something wrong. <br> 23. The company mess and friendly fire should be easier to tell apart <br> 24. Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from a big gun.<br> 25. If the damage you do is covered by a manufacturers warranty, you didn\'t do enough damage. <br> 26. "Fire and Forget" is fine, provided you never actually forget <br> 27. Don\'t be afraid to be the first to resort to violence.<br> 28. If the price of collateral damage is high enough, you might be able to get paid for bringing ammunition home with you. <br> 29. The enemy of my enemy is my enemy\'s enemy. No more. No less.<br> 30. A little trust goes a long way. The less you use, the further you\'ll go.<br> 31. Only cheaters prosper.<br> 32. Anything is amphibious if you can get it back out of the water.<br> 33. If you\'re leaving tracks, you\'re being followed. <br> 34. If you\u2019re leaving scorch-marks, you need a bigger gun.<br> 35. That which does not kill you has made a tactical error.<br> 36. When the going gets tough, the tough call for close air support.<br> 37. There is no \'overkill.\' There is only \'open fire\' and \'I need to reload.\'<br> 38. Just because it\'s easy for you doesn\'t mean it can\'t be hard on your clients.<br> 39. There is a difference between spare parts and extra parts. <br> 40. Not all good news is enemy action.<br> 41. \u201cDo you have a backup?\u201d means \u201cI can\u2019t fix this.\u201d<br> 42. "They\'ll never expect this" means "I want to try something stupid."<br> 43. If it\'s stupid and it works, it\'s still stupid and you\'re lucky.<br> 44. If it will blow a hole in the ground, it will double as an entrenching tool.<br> 45. The size of the combat bonus is inversely proportional to the likelihood of surviving to collect it.<br> 46. Don\u2019t try to save money by conserving ammunition.<br> 47. Don\'t expect the enemy to cooperate in the creation of your dream engagement.<br><br>List is too long for corp description<br></font><font size="12" color="#ffffa600"><loc><a href="http://schlockmercenary.wikia.com/wiki/The_Seventy_Maxims_of_Maximally_Effective_Mercenaries">schlockmercenary.wikia.com/wiki/The_Seventy_Maxims_of_Maximally_Effective_Mercenaries</a></loc><br><br></font><font size="12" color="#bfffffff">Priority number one: get paid.<br>Priority number two: Live long enough to spend your money.<br>Do what I do.
